Zeppelin steering wheel

[Tralika]

A google search for Zeppelin Cockpit results in a bunch of different photos, most are for the modern production. However there are multiple links to photos of the airships from the 20's and 30's. It looks like there were many different types of wheels for the Zeppelins but here's a photo of the US Navy Airship Los Angeles. The wheel in the photo is very similar to the one on Ebay. You would think that the seller would have made an effort to authenticate the wheel before trying to sell it. The fact that there is none is offered in the ad makes you wonder why.
